Onomastics 2.0

During the exhausting search for a given name for the yet unborn
baby, the idea of a name recommendation system based on relations
mined from the social web was born. As the tackled research questions were also relevant for the Knowledge and Data Engineering Group at the University of Kassel, Folke Mitzlaff was able to continue his work on digital onomastics in the context of his dissertation "Relatedness in Evidence Networks".

Nameling is an open research platform, aiming at supporting the research on digital onomastics. Researchers are invited to develop, adopt or test their work in the context of analyzing name relatedness and recommending or ranking names. Formal details on such cooperation's can be found on Nameling's data set page. Contact person for Nameling is Juergen Mueller.
